March 2021 PC Sim Racing Build

This is getting worse. In many stores there is no stock of current graphic cards and other models that were practically discontinued are becoming scarce. It is rumored that during the month of February Nvidia has not sent a single chip to the assemblers, so it is starting to be a worrying situation. The new graphic cards come with mining protection, so it is to be expected that if there is a drop in the value of cryptocurrencies, the second-hand market will be flooded with overpriced gaming cards.

Of course the situation is quite bad and such is the shortage that companies are opening manufacturing lines of obsolete technology in order to supply the market. Also the reuse of defective chips in new lines of business for which they are not strictly necessary.

In this situation and at the end of this month, Intel launches the eleventh generation processors, which represent a transition stage of 10 months until the twelfth generation and which only serve to fill a gap, since they also use relatively obsolete technology at the cost of greatly increasing consumption and temperature.

The price escalation is completely absurd and is occurring at all levels. From companies, distributors and of course users, everyone wants to profit when some component of this type falls into their hands, and therefore it is practically impossible to get anything without being glued to the phone and the computer screen. Our firm advice is not to buy anything you don’t need, and if there is an urgency, better to go for something more reasonable even if it is less powerful.

Once decided, now we have to run and especially for today’s list in which we find a Ryzen 7 5800x which is almost never in stock. Also the graphics that although expensive at its recommended retail price, is from a recognized assembler in this series RTX 3000. The set is spectacular for gaming and great ability to withstand almost everything you throw at it from other tasks. We have gone expensive, but without being exceptionally absurd. We have paired it with a Gigabyte motherboard, 3600 Mhz Corsair RAM and a Gigabyte 3070 graphics card that gives very good performance. We have also included a high-end SSD from Samsung of the best quality and a NZXT heatsink that fits in the Corsair case that we recommend.

This equipment is a real guarantee of performance and fun that promises to take the performance of your software to the next level.
